Chapter 443 - 443 518, You’re Not Wrong!

443 518, You’re Not Wrong!

Chu Cichen refuted, “518 didn’t die to the toxin.”

The moment these words were said, a hint of sharpness flashed in Dugu Xiao’s eyes. He looked at Chu Cichen outright, reacting before anyone else and asking, “What did you say?”

Chu Cichen was about to say something when Shen Ruojing shook her head slightly.

Her identity as 518 would only change Zheng Yi’s impression of her, but she didn’t commit any crime.

13 years ago, Captain Cui had told her this.

Zheng Yi thought that she was the same as those crazed scientists in Doom Organization, inventing this poison for the purpose of killing. However, as long as Captain Cui came back, her name would be cleared.

This was because Captain Cui was the one who had saved her when she was confined underground.

After she had explained everything honestly, Captain Cui sent her back home and instructed her not to reveal the formula for the No. 5 Neurotoxin.

She had never revealed it to anyone else, nor did she bring this matter up before.

However, for some reason, the people from the Doom Organization still found out about the formula. Moreover, they also manufactured a tremendous amount of No. 5 Neurotoxin.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Because of this, Captain Cui was troubled and went to look for her when she was 18 years old… She then became Captain Cui’s external aid in the capacity of a forensic investigator.

Therefore, she believed that as long as she told the truth, Zheng Yi would also make an accurate assessment!

There wasn’t a need for her to reveal her identity as 518. That would just bring up Dugu Xiao’s dissatisfaction once again. It was enough to go through the plot of siblings going up against each other once. Moreover, since she had chosen to leave the Dark Web Organization, she wasn’t going to return.

Seeing that Shen Ruojing didn’t wish to reveal her identity, Chu Cichen’s gaze sank. “I’m saying that 518 didn’t die from the No. 5 Neurotoxin! She clearly died from the explosion caused by you!”

After that, a hint of complicated emotion flashed in Dugu Xiao’s gloomy eyes and he kept quiet.

Although 518 was poisoned, it was true that she died due to his explosive. There was no room for argument about this!

When Dugu Xiao stopped talking, Chu Cichen looked at Zheng Yi and said, “If he can stay here and listen to the interrogation because he is 517, then what about 527?”

Zheng Yi was stunned. “What do you mean?”

Back then, only three people from the Dark Web Organization cooperated with their operation.

518 charged at the forefront, 517 was indifferent, but there was still a 527.

527 would help them make up for things that they did not expect, resulting in the fact that their operations were never flawed.

Zheng Yi admired 518 the most, followed by 527. On the other hand, Dugu Xiao was just putting on an act back then.

Chu Cichen revealed his identity. “I’m 527. Can I join in for the interrogation now?”

Zheng Yi. “!!”

Zheng Yi fell silent for a moment. “How will you prove your identity?”

Chu Cichen looked at Dugu Xiao. “You can ask him.”

Seeing that Dugu Xiao didn’t deny this, Zheng Yi understood that what Chu Cichen said was true.

His eyes lit up and even the other officers who were aiming their guns at Chu Cichen were stunned. They then lowered their guns.

Their guns would never be pointed at their friends!

Seeing that everyone’s attitude had turned for the better, Chu Cichen said, “Right now, can everyone listen to her explanation seriously?”

Although everyone was still indignant, their rationality finally overcame their impulses. Everyone then looked at Shen Ruojing.

Shen Ruojing said slowly, “When I was 11 years old, I was kidnapped by human traffickers and brought into the mountains…”

Her tone was very light, as if she was telling someone else’s story. She told them everything that happened that year.

However, she did not mention the radio or Rong Rong’s name. She only used the term ‘a girl’ in place of Rong’s name.

Finally, she asked everyone present, “If you were me back then, under those circumstances, would you have handed the No. 5 Neurotoxin to that girl?”

She wasn’t questioning them. She was a little confused.

She was only 11 years old back then and could not do things perfectly. Moreover, she was locked up 20 meters underground. Even if she wanted to clean up the aftermath, she did not have the ability to do so.

She naturally knew that the poison must not be leaked. She had also warned Rong Rong in detail and even told her how to destroy the poison… Later on, she asked Rong Rong and the latter confirmed that she had destroyed it.

However, as long as someone was killed, it was impossible not to leave any traces. Shen Ruojing did not know which part of the process had gone wrong, resulting in the formula being leaked.

But should she not save Rong Rong if she knew that the formula would be leaked?

Shen Ruojing had asked herself this question for 13 years!

Everyone in the room fell silent. It was the same for Zheng Yi.

Chu Cichen then looked at the girl.

Her gaze looked helpless and at a loss, piercing sharply into his heart.

Back then, 518 always said with great hatred that after she wiped out the No. 5 Neurotoxin completely, she was going to kill the inventor of this poison… Back then, she must be very reproachful of herself!

In the process of taking down the various dens in which the poison was being manufactured, she had seen too many deaths!

The more she saw, the guiltier and worse she felt. She trapped herself. Back then, she must have been in a lot of pain and struggle.

Although Chu Cichen didn’t understand her grief, he was thankful that he had given her this reply before. “Some people use blades to kill. However, the person who committed the wrongdoing was the murderer and not the one who made the blade.”

He had no idea if his words back then had brought her the slightest bit of consolation.

Chu Cichen’s body tensed and he suddenly took a step forward, holding her shoulder and saying with a firm tone as if telling her, yet also telling the 518 from back then, “Jingjing, you’re not wrong. The ones in the wrong are the human traffickers! And also the people who stole the formula!”

Shen Ruojing’s eyes turned slightly red.

Just then, Dugu Xiao’s sharp and evil voice rang out. “527, it seems like you’re bent on protecting her! Have you forgotten 518’s dying wish?”

When Zheng Yi heard this, his chin tensed.

The Dark Web Organization which was based overseas wasn’t under their purview.

...

The fact that 518 and 517 were fighting for the position of the organization’s boss to the bitter end had nothing to do with them either.

However, if it wasn’t because 517 had helped them before and the Dark Web Organization was still helping them, Zheng Yi would have fallen out with 517 long ago after knowing that he had killed 518.

As a result of hearing this, he asked in a deep voice, “What was 518’s dying wish?”

Dugu Xiao sneered. “To kill the person who invented the No. 5 Neurotoxin.”

Zheng Yi immediately glared fiercely at Shen Ruojing again.

He knew that if what Shen Ruojing had said was true, then she was really innocent.

But now, who could prove her words?

As a member of the special department, Zheng Yi should make the right choice. “Keep her locked up first. We’ll let you out after we’ve verified the truth of this matter.”

Chu Cichen wanted to say some more stuff, but Shen Ruojing already said, “Alright.”

She didn’t mind having to stay here for a few days.

However, Chu Cichen looked at Zheng Yi. “In these few days when she is locked up…”

...

“If we find out that what she said is true, we’ll let her go. However, if she lied, then we won’t hold back!”

Zheng Yi went up personally to remove the handcuffs on Shen Ruojing. “Miss Shen, this way please.”

Shen Ruojing’s arms already felt sore since a while ago.

She rubbed her sore arms and stood up, following Zheng Yi and planning to step out of the room. However, at this moment, Dugu Xiao stopped her and stared at her coldly. “Miss Shen, so what if what you said is true? You are the one who invented the No. 5 Neurotoxin! The one who harmed the lives of so many people! So many brothers and innocent citizens died because of it. What right do you have to live happily? Huh? Don’t you think that you’ve let them down? If I were you, I’d go die! Die to atone for the crime! … Don’t be acting innocent here! You deserve to die!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ruojing’s heart twitched fiercely and her body trembled a little.

But at the next moment, the area before her dimmed as Chu Cichen stepped forth and punched Dugu Xiao’s face harshly.

Chu Cichen glared at Dugu Xiao, shouting, “Shut up!”

Dugu Xiao sneered. “Why do I have to shut up? I’ve always thought that in this world, at least you would be helping me to achieve 518’s dying wish. But I didn’t expect you to have a change of heart so quickly! 518 said that this person deserves to die! She’s a sinner in this world! 518 had made so many sacrifices for the cases of No. 5 Neurotoxin. She has the most right to make the assessment!”

Chu Cichen couldn’t hold it in anymore and bellowed, “Then do you know who she is?!!”
